Glasgow is an orchard commons! Join us to plan, harvest, preserve and share Glasgow’s abundant fruit.

This event is organised by Glasgow Community Food Network

We are calling all fruit-friendly people to join us in a collective mission to harvest Glasgow’s greatest crop! Join us at this event to celebrate the launch of our new project, The City is an Orchard Commons, delivered in partnership with The Orchard Project.
